Host name -The name that appears as the command line prompt for the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace CLI.

Note: To help with network maintenance issues, you may want to make this name identical to the external DNS name. This external DNS name is how the network refers to the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8100 series. However, configuring this host name in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace does not automatically configure the DNS entry in your DNS server. In addition, when attempting to access other servers from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, the other server IP address must be used because Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is not configured to support DNS internally.

Host description -The name of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server as seen in MeetingTime and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing. It is helpful to use "MeetingPlace" in this field because it can be different from the TCP/IP name.

Site name -An arbitrary name for the location of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server.

The Media Access Control (MAC) address of the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server. It corresponds to the MAC hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a network. During setup, the getether command produced this value.

NTP server
